Safety Information
- Do not obstruct your view of the road or vehicle controls when mounting the device.
- Ensure the mount is securely attached before placing a device on it.
- Avoid adjusting the mount while driving.
- Keep magnetic components away from sensitive electronic devices that may be affected by magnetic fields.
Setup and Installation
- Choose a Mounting Location: Select a flat, smooth surface on your dashboard or windshield that does not obstruct your driving view or interfere with airbags.
- Clean the Surface: Wipe the chosen surface with an alcohol wipe and allow it to dry completely. This ensures optimal suction cup adhesion.
- Attach the Mount:
- Place the suction cup firmly onto the cleaned surface.
- Press down on the base and engage the locking lever to create a strong vacuum seal.
- Prepare Your Device for Magnetic Attachment:
- Clean the back of your phone or phone case.
- Apply the protective film to the back of your phone or inside your phone case where the metal plate will be placed. This protects your device's surface.
- Peel the adhesive backing from the metal plate and firmly attach it to the protective film. Ensure it is centered for best magnetic connection.

- Adjust Viewing Angle: The mount features a 360-degree rotatable ball joint. Loosen the collar behind the magnetic head, adjust your phone to the desired portrait or landscape orientation and angle, then tighten the collar to secure it.
- Remove Your Phone: Simply pull your phone away from the magnetic head.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount and suction cup with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Suction Cup Re-adhesion: If the suction cup loses its stickiness, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. This can restore its adhesive properties.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
